Perfect for custom knife sheaths and gun holsters.
Main highlights
High Breakage Resistance and Rigidity
Higher breakage resistance than competitive thermoplastics; modulus of elasticity of 2,482 MPa 360,000 psi; easy to form with excellent part definition.
Ideal for Knife Sheaths and Gun Holsters
Great for knife sheaths and gun holsters; also used for making pistol pouches, off-road vehicle light wraps, and various DIY projects.
Ease of Molding and Forming
Customers praise the ease of working with the material; it can be heated, formed, and reformed easily, making it versatile for various applications.
Texture: P1 Hair Cell | Type: T (A Grade): The texture applied to the surface of the Kydex sheet is referred to as P1 “Hair Cell”. This is a reference to the size and shape of the texture grain and is common on many Kydex items seen in the marketplace. P1 is the most common texture for holsters, sheaths, and other carry items. The texture on Kydex sheet is uniform across the surface of the material and produces a non-reflective, scratch resistant finish.
For DIY thermoforming: Kydex Thermoform Sheet is very similar to both Holstex and Boltaron in the way it forms when heated and molded around an object. Once cooled, this material will keep the shape of the item that was used to mold the shape into place. In its cooled state, it is very durable and light weight. It is used widely in thermoform holster making, cosplay costume creation, removable surface coverings, keel guard protectors, and much more.
Easy to form: To use Kydex thermoform sheet, score and cut a piece slightly larger than the object being covered. Heat the material to a 300-375 degree Fahrenheit range and place over object. Using forming foam, press the material around the object and allow it to cool in position. Once cooled, remove and sand edges to desired shape. (Detailed instructions included with order.)
Thickness (.080 in.) | Easy To Form And Use: To use Kydex V thermoform sheet, score and cut a piece slightly larger than the object being covered. Heat the material to a 300-375 degree Fahrenheit range and place over object. Using forming foam, press the material around the object and allow it to cool in position. Once cooled, remove and sand edges to desired shape. (Detailed instructions included with order.)

Thickness: 0.08 Inches | Easy to form: To use Kydex thermoform sheet, score and cut a piece slightly larger than the object being covered. Heat the material to a 300-375 degree Fahrenheit range and place over object. Using forming foam, press the material around the object and allow it to cool in position. Once cooled, remove and sand edges to desired shape. (Detailed instructions included with order.)
Infused Graphic Pattern : Topographic Camo | KYDEX Thermoform Sheet (*Includes HolsterSmith Instructions) | For DIY thermoforming: Kydex Thermoform Sheet is very similar to both Holstex and Boltaron in the way it forms when heated and molded around an object. Once cooled, this material will keep the shape of the item that was used to mold the shape into place. In its cooled state, it is very durable and light weight.

Color: Hunter Orange/Black (Reversed) | Digital Infusion Process: The Infused Prints are applied with our leading digital infusion process. Our process allows the graphics to be thermally bonded to the top layer of the KYDEX thermoform sheet, yet maintains the original sheet's texture and size. By maintaining the most original sheet texture, our process allows the graphic to display a 3D depth like never before.
【You will receive】: a black ABS plastic sheet with two different surfaces (one smooth and one matte with a grainy texture), with a single sheet size of 12 x 16 x 0.12 inches(300 x 400 x 3 mm)
【Flexible and lightweight rigid material】:Our 12 "x 16" x 1/8 inch ABS plastic sheet has better flexibility and shattering strength than plexiglass,Lower density, and can be restored under reasonable force bending. ABS sheets excel in standing wear, impact, chemicals, and heat,Moldable plastic can provide better support for innovative model production
【Easy to heat form and cut process】:ABS plastic sheet 1/8 inch thick has excellent hot forming and plasticity, bent and shaped easily under heating with heat air gun, boiling waterand can bend to the shape you want under the action of force and heat. The hot deformation temperature is about 70-96 ° C (158-204.8 ° F)and hold the shape until it cools down.abs sheet is also easy to process, be cut easily with table saw, jigsaw, water jet at room temperature,drilled or polished plastic sheet。
